Accord', a hybrid formed by a cross between G. johnsonii and G. wilsonii has been developed. The broad leaves of the Grevillea johnsonii are evergreen. This species is most suited to a sheltered location, however full sunlight also benefits the species. Soil conditions include well drained soil with the species commonly growing in loam or sand. Grevillea johnsonii requires little to no pruning, however if it is propagated inside, more frequent pruning is necessary to restrict size. Foliage in autumn, winter and spring is primarily green, however summer will flower with red, pink and orange forms. Grevillea johnsonii sometimes does not produce a strong root ball and may require a rootstock to be propagated effectively. Other species of the Grevillea are useful, such as Grevillea robusta. Use in floristry The vase life of G. johnsonii flowers is limited because the flowers fade and drop their petals rather quickly. Grevillea 'Bon Accord' A notable hybrid of G. johnsonii is Grevillea 'Bon Accord', a hybrid between G. johnsonii and Grevillea wilsonii. The hybrid arose in Victoria in 1982, and was registered in 1985 with the Australian Cultivar Registration Authority.
